Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Vaccine Choice Canada, operators of the website Vaccinechoicecanada.com, collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Vaccine Choice Canada’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Vaccinechoicecanada.com visitors use its website. From time to time, Vaccine Choice Canada may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Vaccine Choice Canada also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Vaccine Choice Canada does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Vaccine Choice Canada’s websites choose to interact with Vaccinechoicecanada.com in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who want to receive periodic email bulletins from Vaccine Choice Canada to provide their name and email address to our YourMailingListProvider sign up page. YourMailingListProvider has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under its control.

In each case, Vaccine Choice Canada collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Vaccine Choice Canada. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
